Default Fairing for an FXDF fat bob

So i swapped my iron for the fat bob and id like to get a quarter fairing going.

Couple of questions i've got are, the bike is already moded abit and the owner took down the double headlight and installed a single headlight. Is anything else preventing me from installing a regular quarter fairing that fits a regular fxd?
If it is id like some pointers regarding how to procede here....

No, single headlight will work fine with any fairing

Wrong, Fat Bob and Wide Glide have wider forks.

Basically because of the single headlight mod i can go with the wide glide fairing?

Remember, the fairing has to be "wide" enough to clear the forks.
Example: FXRT fairing will not work on wide glide front ends because there is not enough space for the forks.

Yup got it. The question is are the front ends on both the same width and the only difference is the fat wheel?

So far the only fairings i found for the fxdf are for the two headlights...

Sounds like you'll be looking for WG fairings since you are running the single headlight. I believe the JD Tsport fairing would work, seen one on a fatty and it looks pretty good...

I was looking in to the Arlen Ness - 06-087 - Wide Glide and Custom Mid Glide Fairing Kit but the thing comes without mounting hardware...
